Corporate Governance

We have been nationally recognized for innovation and excellence in corporate governance. As part of a continuing commitment to excellence, we comply with the applicable rules and guidelines for the disclosure of corporate governance practices established under National Instrument 58-101. All Board members are independent as the term is defined under this instrument.

Governance Features

• Our sole common Shareholder, the City of Edmonton, appoints the Board.

• The Board operates independently of the Shareholder with full authority to make strategic business decisions. No employees or elected representatives of the City sit on the Board.
• An independent Chair leads the Board.
• Directors are respected business and community leaders from across Canada.
• Operating under a clear Charter of Expectations, the Board:
• Approves the goals of the business and correlating objectives and policies
• Evaluates management's performance
• The selection, assessment and evaluation process for Directors seeks to match individual skills with EPCOR's needs, using an independent consultant and skills matrix.
